If you skipped seeing this one in theaters, the newest "Star
Wars" movie is finally available to stream this week. Discover
Donald Glover's excellent performance as a young Lando Calrissian
for the first time or indulge in his capes a second time.

"Solo"

Netflix description: "In a remote area of the
Canary Islands, a surfer falls off a cliff. Fighting to survive,
he reflects on his life and past romance. Based on true events."

This "Solo" has nothing to do with being among the stars. If you
don't mind watching subtitles, the foreign language film, which
translates to "Alone," will have you rooting for a surfer as he
makes the decision to fall from a cliff into the ocean. Injured
and without a working phone, memories of a past relationship give
him the strength to keep going during a journey of survival and
self-discovery.

"Benji"

Honestly, the dog won us over.

his sister stumble into some serious danger."

If you can't catch the new dog movie out this weekend, "A Dog's
Way Home," an alternative is Netflix's remake of the 1974
"Benji." If may not be as good as the original, but it's a cute
kids' film and it's tough to resist the adorable puppy eyes given
by the dog who plays Benji.

"The Last Laugh"

circuit."

If you've missed Chevy Chase, the film features stand-out
performances from Chase and Richard Dreyfus, and Andie MacDowell
is always a joy to watch. Comedian Lewis Black also makes an
appearance.

Adam Sandler entered a deal with Netflix to make original movies
for them, but some of his classics still reside on the streaming
service, too. A must-see is one of his earliest performances as
the man who goes back to school and winds up falling for one of
his teachers.

"The Mummy"

Forget the 2017 attempt at rebooting the franchise and go back in time to the 1999 monster movie.

After leaving Hollywood for a while, Brendan Frasier is back and
was recently cast to star in one of DC's upcoming live-action
shows for its streaming platform. Until "Doom Patrol" is out,
relive one of Frasier's best films, "The Mummy," which is more
light-hearted and crowd-pleasing than scary.

There's a reason it's still one of the best rides at Universal
Studios in Orlando, Florida.

"The Sixth Sense"

Before "Glass" comes out in theaters next week, revisit one of M.
Night Shyamalan's best and earliest movies starring Bruce Willis.
During the making of this movie, Shyamalan approached Willis
about his idea for "Unbreakable."

If you've never seen the film, try not to have the ending ruined
for you.
